Can't unsee those gummy worm horns. Truely, they make this doll. n_n

Cornelius of the Ether Realm a.k.a Cornball

Yep, that's what I'm going with.

Quickie Giveaway!

For some reason, the pic post of the bigger Khoshehk sketch is going around again… and I’m getting a lot of asks about him.  He’s still not for sale, sorry.  The kittens still aren’t for sale either, as Commonplace Books still prohibits fan merchandise sales.  They’re giveaway only.

However, I will give away one of my last remaining kittens.  This one is a really stunning translucent green resin with blue pearl powder, which gives it the appearance similar to labradorite.  He had an unfortunate accident where I dropped him right on his little head and broke one of his horns, but it has been securely superglued and he’s in good spirits (not biting or hissing anymore).

Anyway, for a chance to win him, just reblog this post from the source (so I can see your response without having to go to your blog) and tell me what you would name him.

I’ll pick a winner on 4/1.  I’m not sure if it’ll be random or if I’ll pick based on names I like; I guess it’ll depend on what kind of day it is. 

I made a fish man.

Well, partially. I had a Monster High body that was missing limbs and frankinsteined him some replacements. Plus a few extra fins and a tail. He can't really stand on his fin leg (though I did make the fin articulated), so I made him a simple crutch. I've been watching art doll videos recently (of the stuffed and wire-articulated variety) and got inspired.

I still need to paint some details to make everything more cohesive and repaint the head. All the translucent additions glow in the dark, so I really want that to come through in his eyes. To cover his head to neck transition, I'll probably use some painted fabric.

The fin for his left leg is somewhere, I just forgot to attach it before I took the pictures.

Nearly every autistic person on the face of the Earth has been groomed for abuse from an early age.

We don’t attract abuse by being idiosyncratic or sincere. To say that is to blame our personalities. To say that that is to make yet another attempt at getting us to suppress ourselves, ruining our emotional and physical health.

We don’t stumble into abuse because we’re naive or poor judges of character.  To say that is to infantilize us. To say that is to make yet another attempt at robbing us of our independence and agency, impoverishing our life experiences.

We find ourselves in toxic, abusive friendships and relationships because we are groomed for that shit by the authority figures in our lives who teach us how to behave and blend in while ignoring the nuances of interpersonal interaction - particularly the nuances of the sorts of interaction that happen when acquaintances become friends, when friends become close friends, or when our relationships with those friends become romantic and/or sexual. They simply don’t see those stages of relating as something we want, or, if we do want them, however desperately, they are dismissed as something that’s simply not in the hand we were dealt. We are taught only how to get by in shallow interactions, and left to trial and error should we wish to pursue anything beyond that.

Unfortunately, a lot of that “error” entails emotional, psychological, physical, and sexual abuse.

This is Kyle. He was from a wealthy suburban family until he decided to cut ties from his family's money and become independent. At 26, he still has much to learn about how the world really is.

He's just borrowing that torso for the picture. n_n

Artist Carves Wooden Rope Sculpture From a Tree Trunk

Artist Maskull Lasserre indulges in sculptural practice that strikes a delicate balance between hard-edged industrial media and a delicately poetic resolve, blending the two beautifully.

BEHOLD

MY NEW SON.

HIS NAME IS LONG LUSCIOUS LEGS

Love, Death & Robots has some pretty killer concepts when it not, you know, being gross or insufferably horny.

Why it’s Helpful to Hear Terminology:

I’ve seen some debates about whether having a pretty word for a symptom actually makes any difference, and I’m here to say that it did for at least one person.

I recently learned that sensory overload is something adhd people can experience too, and learning a word for why I always felt “sick” and had to go to the nurse in middle school brought me so much peace. When I learn terminology for my experiences, I feel validated.

It’s like proof that I’m not just being dramatic or weak. Kind of like when I realized that the reason I’ve never been any good at sports was because I’ve had asthma all along. I thought I just tired out quickly.

It’s like having a name for my struggle gives me power over it.

So, TLDR: Terminology can help us feel validated in our experiences, and that can be a great encouragement.
